Armed Forces Day - Bodelwyddan

I wanted to demonstrate on Armed Forces Day in solidarity with assassinated MP Jo Cox. She stood for everything I believe in.

When we hear about the work that Jo did, it is clear that she cared deeply about the welfare of children, all over the world, whatever their situation. Events like Armed Forces Day are used to target British children as potential future recruits. Shamefully, Britain is the only country in Europe that still recruits 16 year old children into its armed forces. Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, the British army has been involved in military action that has led to the maiming and killing of countless innocent children, and sells arms to other countries around the world, leading to even more child deaths.
